Nunavut Arctic College

Gyu Oh, Fine Arts faculty member with the Nunavut Teacher Education Program, has had a very successful semester. Earlier in the term her Year 3 students staged an ambitious and innovative Art Exhibit at Nunatta campus, Iqaluit. Having seen the response from the College community, our Year 1 students indicated an interest in doing the same.

I have attached pictures of some of our Year 1 students and samples of the work they produced. It included such items as: soap stone carvings; prints; print making; timelines and block carving.

We thank the students for their first steps into the Fine Arts arena and Gyu Oh for her efforts on their behalf.

IQALUIT, Nunavut (October 28, 2011) – The polar bear quota for the 2011-2012 harvest year is increasing from 8 to 21 bears for the Western Hudson Bay subpopulation which includes the area around the communities of Arviat, Baker Lake, Whale Cove, Rankin Inlet and Chesterfield Inlet.

Learn more about the decisions that have been made to increase the total allowable harvest of Western Hudson Bay polar bears with background information provided by the Government of Nunavut Department of Environment.

On October 28, 2011 the Honourable Daniel Shewchuk, Minister of Environment announced an increase in the Total Allowable Harvest (TAH) for the 2011-2012 harvest year for polar bears in the Western Hudson Bay subpopulation (WH). Consistent with the Department of Environment’s management recommendation, which was supported by the Regional Wildlife Organization (RWO), the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board (NWMB) decided to increase the quota from 8 to 21 bears.
